A/N this is my first take on the actual story. I've seen the movie several times, and hopefully that'll help with my detailing and make you guys less worried about wrong details. Hopefully, this will have as much success as The Nuclear Winter, maybe more. Anyways, Im gonna try and keep this entire story in Elsa's POV, though there will be a couple chapters in Anna's. Hope you guys like it! Enjoy!

"Hey," Anna heard from her left. She wasn't expecting it, and she certainly wasn't prepared and quickly became flustered. She looked toward where the angelic voice had graced its speakers enticing lips.

"H-Hi me?" She asked, receiving a nod in the affirmative. "Oh, uh, hi!" Anna smiled at her sister and then looked forward at the crowd, feeling even more nervous than she had before. Don't look at her. Don't look at her. Don't loo- her thoughts were interrupted by the same wonderful sound of Elsa's voice.

"You look beautiful." she said, a light blush creeping at the edges of her cheeks.

"Thank you." Anna said, a pink blush also gracing her cheeks. "You look beautifuller." You idiot! "I mean not fuller, you don't look fuller, but m-more beautiful." The queen laughed once at her sisters flustered rambling. "Thank you."

Elsa turned to the crowd."So, this is what a party looks like."

Anna glanced over at her sister, trying to come up with something to keep conversation with the regal blonde. "It's warmer than i thought." That's all you could think of! luckily her sister had noticed her nervousness and countered accordingly.

"And what is that amazing smell?" Elsa asked. Both girls sniffed the air, bringing their heads around trying to pinpoint it, but only coming face to face with their eyes closed.

"Chocolate." They said in unison and opened their eyes. Both girls blushed and giggled, moving back to their regal stances.

Maybe I could ask her to dance.. Oh, that'd be perfect! The thought came to late, however, as she was interrupted by their head servant, Kia. "Your Majesty, The Duke of Weaseltown."

"Weselton!" The small, grey haired man said. "The Duke of Weselton, Your Majesty." he stepped forward. "As your closest partner in trade, it seems only fitting that i offer you your first dance as queen." He then broke into a blur of motion, his feet and arms flailing at first and then spinning with his knees bent, coming up to straighten and then moving into a bow. His arm extended and then, unexpectedly, his toupee peeled off halfway. Both girls stifled their laughs behind their hands. Elsa cleared her throat, prompting the short, but springy man to rise.

"Thank you, only i don't dance." Elsa said.

"Oh." The Duke said, disappointed.

"But my sister does." she said. Anna felt a pang of pride and chuckled aloud. The feeling was replaced by confusion soon after. "Wait, what?" How does she kno-

"Well, lucky are you." The Duke said, looping his arm through Anna's.

"Oh, i don't think-" She was pulled off into the crowd, though she was turned, looking at Elsa as she went. She only wanted to be with one person tonight; the one person at the party who was absolutely perfect in every way. The person who stared endearingly at her while her arm was being tugged in the opposite direction.

The queen slightly raised her hand in a small attempt to show her mock-sympathy. "Sorry." she said, being the only on to hear it. She watched as the Duke danced around Anna and then dip her to where she was looking straight back at her. She couldn't help but laugh, and Anna gave her a playful glare. A prince who looked just around her age stopped just in front of her and bowed. He rose, his short, bright blonde military hair cut went along with his dark blue eyes, giving him a certain edge Elsa found almost intimidating.

"Your Majesty, The Prince of Zyra." Kia said, a tad late on his announcement.

"Your Majesty." He rose. "It's an honor to meet you." He smiled, revealing perfect white teeth. "Though, I am probably the only single man here not trying to court you or Her Highness, Princess Anna."

"Oh? Then why, might i ask, are you here Prince..."

"Arik, Your Majesty."

"Prince Arik. Sounds familiar."

"Well, Your Majesty, i was named after my Great Grandfather who led the Battle of Ladested against The Southern Isles. Are you a patron of literature?"

"All I've done for years now is read, so i suppose you could say that." She smiled. That and watch Anna grow up from a distance. She let the thought pass, not changing her expression to what she felt.

"Ah, you've probably read about it then."

She nodded, trying to remember what book it was she had read about the battle. "Your Majesty, if its alright with you, may we speak later? I have several topics i wish to discuss with you." he said.

"Yes, Prince Arik. You may return to the castle tomorrow. My Royal Guard will be sure to escort you to my study." and with that, she smiled and he bowed, turning back to return to the dance floor.

Another pair of dignitaries stopped by and were introduced, bowing and curtsying and then moving back to the party. Anna appeared, looking just as beautiful as she had earlier, but a little more worn out than her usual energy. "Let me know when your ready for another round, My Lady." The Duke could be heard saying from behind her.

She walked towards where she had stood before. "Well, he was spritely." Elsa chuckled.

"Especially for a man in heels, ugh." Anna said, rolling her eyes and fixing her own heel.

Elsa chuckled again, "Are you okay?" She looked at her sister with nothing but love.

"I've never been better. This is so nice!" Anna said, bringing her hands up to her chest. In a little lower voice, she said "I wish it could be like this all the time."

"Me too." Now lean forward and kiss her. Elsa suppressed the thought, looking into Anna's eyes. She remembered the incident thirteen years ago and the guilt, the sadness, the regret all came back at once. She didn't mean to let it show, but her face reflected what she was feeling. "But it can't."

"But why not?" Anna reached for her. No! Elsa turned, keeping herself away from Anna's touch. Her fear of hurting her own baby sister was to much for her to accept any touch from Anna.. no matter how bad she wanted to. "I mean we coul-"

"It just can't." Elsa said sternly. She closed her eyes to keep from seeing the hurt on her sister's face.

A few small moments passed. "Excuse me for a minute." She heard and turned to see Anna heading out into the crowd once again, also hearing a sniff rom the younger girl.

Elsa felt even more guilt and sadness that she had to keep her sister at a distance. She hated it! She hated how she spent years watching her grow from a distance and not being a part of it. Not being the big sister Anna so often needed. She had a promise to keep, though. A promise she made to herself long ago. A promise to never hurt Anna again. Conceal, don't feel. She restated the cursed phrase her father had taught her. She straightened her form and turned to face the crowd once again.

Time seemed to go by faster. Royals and Ambassadors came and went, and the party stayed constant. Her mind often went to Anna, comparing the beauty of some of the princesses to her. None of them even came close to matching Anna's beauty. Or her style or personality or.. come to think of it, they couldn't compare at all to Anna. Sure, one or two had pretty eyes, another one had a beautiful dress, but what Anna was toppled all of that and made it obsolete to what the younger girl possessed: her sisters love. This love wasn't the infatuation that a girl may have over a guy or vice versa the first time they met. This was a love that was built over years and years of longing and thought and want and need and promises not yet spoken. The simple thing of being absent from Anna's life angered Elsa to no end over the years, causing a few mishaps thankfully mostly contained in her room.

Minutes turned into an hour and another set of royals to greet. They curtseyed and walked away, revealing Anna with a man she hadn't seen yet.

"Elsa! Uh, Queen." She did a slight curtsey. "Me again." She reached back, bringing the man forward."May i present Prince Hans of the Southern Isles."

He bowed and spoke in a deep voice, "Your Majesty."

"We would like-" Anna and Hans said, slightly out of synch, "your blessing," Hans said, taking Anna's hand that wasn't on his shoulder. "Of our marriage" they said at the same time as Anna lay her head against the prince's shoulder.

The announcement of marriage was shocking to Elsa. She wasn't expecting something so big on her coronation. She was also expecting to have some time with her sister before there were any suitors or grubby princes that got to her. "Marriage?" She said, her voice teetering on the edge of anger. a small splinter of jealousy worked its way into her heart as she looked between the two.

"Yes!" her little sister said.

In an attempt to quell the fear that had just entered her mind, she tried getting Anna to explain it as just being over ambitious or as a joke. "I'm sorry, i'm confused."

"Well, we haven't worked out all the details ourselves. We'll need a few days to plan the ceremony, of course, we'll have soup, roast, and ice cream and then-" she turned abruptly to Hans. "Would we live here?"

"Here?" In a split second Elsa thought of waking up day after day seeing them together. It'd be torture! What if they kissed in front of her? What if this Han's had the balls to grope Anna in front of her face!? What if she caught them- she didn't finish the thought.

"Absolutely!" Hans said

"Oh, We can invite-"

"Anna.." Elsa tried interjecting.

"-all twelve," Elsa tried stopping her but was only drowned out to background noise from the two. "No."

"-of your-"

"No."

"-brothers-"

"No."

"- to stay with us. Of course we have the room. I don't kno-"

"Just. Wait." Elsa finally got a word in. "Slow down. No one's brothers are staying here. No one is getting married."

"Wait, what?" Anna came forward, slightly confused.

"May i talk to you, please? Alone?" Elsa asked, trying to get her sister away to explain to her innocent sister the mistake she had made. This was the real world. Something she hadn't been exposed to yet. She wrung her hands in front of her, hoping that her sister would see what she had to say would be better said out of ear shot of company.

"No. Whatever you have to say, you can say to both of us." Anna said, stepping back to Hans' arm.

It was obvious to Elsa that there was no going around it. Her sister was still stubborn. As always. A quality she loved, that is, when she wasn't going against it.

"Fine. You can't marry a man you just met."

"You can if it's true love." Anna said, conviction in her voice.

"Anna, what do you know about true love?"

"More than you. All you know is how to shut people out!" Anna said.

The amount of hurt Elsa felt at those last words were.. indescribable. She wasn't expecting Anna to use their separation against her. The pain and sorrow showed in the Queen's face after her sister's retort. This quickly changed to anger and frustration as Elsa tried to get away from the two royals. "You asked for my blessing, but my answer is no. Now.." She paused, reeling from the devastation inside her. She straightened her spine, trying her hardest to conceal her feelings. "Excuse me."

After she took a couple steps forward, Hans tried reconcile the queen. "Your Majesty, if i may.. ease your-"

"No, you may not, and i think you should go." she interrupted, the sharp ice in her voice telling the prince to back off. "The party is over. Close the gates." She said to the nearby Royal Guard that was watching over her.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Anna panicked."Wha- wait, Elsa, no, no wait, please-" she said stepping forward and grabbing at her hand, but only succeeding in pulling the glove that covered it off.

"Give me my glove!" she pleaded. Afraid of unleashing the unthinkable, she lunged forward, trying to grab the silk garment in her sister's hand, but missed when Anna put it behind her back.

"Elsa, please! Please, i cant live like this anymore." Anna begged her.

Elsa thought only for a second. She thought of the hurt she was causing Anna, the pain and sadness and anger and stress. All these bad emotions and she was the cause. She said the only thing that she knew would give Anna a chance at a normal life. "Then leave."

Seeing the hurt for the second time that evening on her sister's face tormented Elsa's mind and it was all she could do to not break down in that moment. She turned to leave, to go outside to the gardens where she knew she would find peace only to hear Anna's voice behind her growing in anguish. "What did I ever do to you?!"

"Enough, Anna." Elsa felt the eyes of the dignitaries around her turn towards her as she restated her mantra repeatedly in her mind.

"No, Why?! Why do you shut me out? Why do you shut the world out? What are you so afraid of?!"

"I said enough!" She turned, trying to wave her away, but instead a stream of ice came from her hands in a wave that swept across the floor nearest to her that created a waist high wall of spikes that pointed away from the queen. The second she felt the magic escape from her fingers, Elsa's fear surfaced and the horror of her secret getting out became realized. She looked around, expecting to see all the occupants of the ball room to look at her, but instead, all faces went to her sister. She followed their gaze. Red. All she saw was red. A spike of ice had went through Anna's stomach, blood streaming out of the sides of the wound.

"ANNA!" She screamed and ran to her sister, the ice immediately melting before she got to it. Anna crumpled into her arms as she got there, small streams of blood flowing out the sides of her mouth.

"I wish you woulda' told me." she said, coughing weakly.

"Shh, shh it's okay, Anna." Tears freely flowed down Elsa's cheek onto Anna's green dress, their surroundings fading and all her focus went to her sister. "Im so sorry." She sobbed. "-So sorry. So, so sorry."

Through all the pain, her resilient sister raised her hand to the queen's cheek. "I forgive you. Don't cry." Elsa leaned her head into Anna's touch, sobbing and stroking the younger woman's arm. "Ya know, i don't even love him. You were right, Elsa." The Queen opened her eyes, looking at her quizzically. "The feeling i get with him is nothing, nothing compared to what i get with you. Just looking at you makes my heart melt." She whispered. "I love you, Elsa. More than anything."

Elsa's expression went from quizzical to understanding at her sister's confession. "I love you, too, Anna. I always have." Despite everything that had taken place, Anna smiled, knowing her love was returned. Elsa wanted her sister to know just how much she ment it before it was to late. She pulled the arm that held her sister up towards her head, the other hand going to rest on Anna's cheek. Anna's weak breath ghosted over Elsa's lips and before she knew it, their lips were together. Anna's eyes slowly drifted closed as the first second of the kiss passed and Elsa pulled away from the younger girls soft and warm lips. As Elsa loosened her hold on Anna, she pushed her face into Elsa's neck, nuzzling into it. "Mm, so warm." she said. Her hand on Anna's cheek remained and her thumb traced circles just below Anna's right eye. The beautiful emerald green eyes Elsa adored came open slightly as she let Elsa's arm support her once more, looking into her own icy blue irises. A single, solitary tear trailed down Anna's cheek. Her chest was still and the warm breath that Elsa had felt on her face ceased.

Anna's body was limp in her arms and when she felt that Anna's soul had left, the loneliest feeling she could have ever known, she let out a terrible scream of anguish that reverberated throughout a now empty field. Nothing but pure white snow surrounded them. Slowly a male figure appeared in the near distance. All Elsa could make out was a pair of piercing blue eyes and a head of pitch black hair. "You have killed your sister, Your Majesty. What excuse do you have for taking away her life?"

"I-I-I-" She couldn't speak through the onslaught of tears just behind her eyes, so she let the dam fall, allowing the tears to flow. She sobbed uncontrollably, clutching Anna's body into her chest, her face buried in Anna's still warm neck.

"You will always be a monster. There will be no retribution from your subjects. You will bear the guilt of this forever, and never again will you feel love in your heart as she was the one true love that you had in this world. Now-" The figure said from just in front of her. A white gloved crooked finger went under her chin and lifted it. In front of her stood their father. "-Rise and rule this land. You have a duty. Do not let this... mistake get in the way of that."

She looked down at her sister's now lifeless body. "She wasn't the mistake... I was."

Their father looked down on them not with pity, but with disgust as he turned and started to walk back into the dust of snow that surrounded them. "Then do yourself some justice." She heard him say before disappearing into the wind and snow. Something made a whooshing sound and then Elsa heard it stick into the ground by their feet. She looked down at the long object sticking straight up from the ground; a sword made entirely of elegantly shaped ice. She laid Anna down onto the pure white snow and sat her hands on her chest, then moved to lay beside her, arms going around her waist. She rested her head on Anna's shoulder, wishing she was still alive show she could show Elsa that she wasn't alone; wasn't a monster like their father had just said. Every second, she expected it to happen less and less and when all hope had vanished from her heart, the tears came again. They ran down onto Anna's now slightly cooler shoulder. The warmth was fading from her body. Elsa couldn't help the guilt rising within her heart and the thought of the sword being her father's demand crossed her mind several times before she felt the sting of tears cease. Anger; at herself, at their parents, at the bastard who was going to steal Anna away, at the world, boiled to the surface as she rose, gritting her teeth. She gripped the blade's hilt, pulling it out of the snow it had stuck into and moved back beside Anna's form.

She got to her knees, holding the blade in one hand and the other going to Anna's chest. The warmth had now gone and her skin had grown pale and cold to the touch. "Im so sorry, Anna." Elsa whispered. She raised the blade, the point settling in between her stomach and her chest and grabbed the hilt with both hands, forcing it through the flesh and bone until the cross guard was against her skin. The crown she had just received hours ago fell to the snow below near her knees. There was a white hot pain that resonated from her torso, everything below lost feeling as the blade had severed her spinal cord. She took a breath and on the exhale, she pulled the blade out, and after came blood that spurted up and over Anna's body. She leaned forward, hands still on the hilt, and rested her cheek on the princess's chest. "So sorry, my love." She said, feeling the blood from Anna's wound coat the back of her head.

The moment she felt herself fading, she also felt Anna's skin get warmer. If she listened closely, she could hear the faint beat of her heart starting again. Elsa looked up at Anna's face. Her vision blurred it, but she could see the blood from her mouth fade and her eyes slowly flutter open. A warm hand went to her cheek and Anna looked down at her and then sat up, gently taking Elsa's head into her hands. "Elsa? Elsa!" She saw Anna's face contort in anguish and fear. "Why? Why did you do this to yourself?"

"I couldn't-" a shaky inhale,"live with myself," another breath,"I killed my one true love."

"Then why am i the one holding you and not the other way around?"

"I don't know." Elsa felt her sole seeping out of her body. "You're alive and that's all that matters." She closed her eyes. "I love you." She wanted-no needed- to hear Anna hear it before she was fully gone.

She heard a sob and then, "I-I love you, too, Elsa." The hand on her face's thumb circled around the top of her cheek in a comforting motion. A smile crept onto Elsa's lips as she let the eternal sleep claim her.

Her eyes fluttered open to see the white ceiling above her bed. Her breath was calm and the temperature of the room had dropped drastically; a side-effect of her powers. The small patterns that she had made there one night long ago when she was bored and restless still remained there. She sat up and thought over what had happened a week ago with The Great Freeze and Anna's near-sacrifice to save her. She felt the bed's soft material shift along with her body when she moved her feet over the edge and onto the floor. She stood up and reached for her silk robe that hung from a hook on her bed and put it on, stepping up to the white and blue decorated door. She placed her hand on the cool metal handle, turning it and hearing it click open and then stepped out into the hall. The feeling of soft carpet reached her feet and she let it soothe her as she turned and walked right and then made a left turn down a hall. The next thing she knew, Anna's door stood in front of her.

She raised her hand to knock, knowing all too well the irony of the situation and she thought back to all the times Anna had stayed right outside her door. Anna never forgot her birthday or christmas or any holiday for that matter. She always stopped by Elsa's door and talked for hours on end about things that had been happening, the many occurrences of being a princess and the daily drama that came with it. She also talked of her feelings. Sadness. Loss. Hate. All were subjects in Anna's ramblings through the wood. Once, when Anna was sixteen, she explained to her through the door that she knew that she was on the other side of the door every time Anna had come by and that she didn't care if there was no response. The fact that she could hear the movements on the other side made her happy knowing that there was still a sister in there.

She brought her hand back down and instead reached for the door handle. Finding it unlocked, she turned it fully and entered the room, her eyes gracing over the sleeping figure in the bed at the center of the room. She walked over to the opposite side Anna was resting on and pulled the covers back, slipping into the bed. She knew Anna wouldn't mind. She turned away closing her eyes and was almost asleep when she felt the form behind her shift closer.

An arm went across her waist and the hand turned her to lay on her back. Anna's arm then went across her waist again, but this time remained flattened against her. She felt the weight next to her snuggle up to her side and Anna's head move to her shoulder. Elsa smiled, wrapping an arm around her sister and pulled her closer. Anna's left leg went in between Elsa's and hooked around her left leg and she felt Anna's body shift upwards. Next, she felt Anna's lips peck her cheek and then her nose nuzzling into her neck and felt goose bumps at her sister's nose coming into contact with her pulse. The heat that she felt on the sensitive spot drove her mad on the inside, but for her sister's sake, she held it in. She didn't ever want to move from the sanctuary of her sister's clutch. The dream, nightmare really, had lost it's hold on her and it was all because of Anna. Her eyes slowly drifted closed and she let the warmth of her younger sister against her body comfort her as she drifted into sleep.
